2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review
The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport blends solid engine performance with high-tech features and a well-appointed interior that is both stylish and practical.
Drivers in Ithaca, Elmira, and Cortland can learn all about the new Bronco Sport with this comprehensive 2021 Ford Bronco Sport review from Maguire Ford.
Ford Bronco Sport Engines and Power
The Bronco Sport base engine is a 181-horsepower turbocharged three-cylinder. The uprated engine is an available 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. An eight-speed automatic transmission and a 4x4 system are standard for both engines. The base engine has plenty of power for around-town driving and merging and passing, but the four-cylinder engine is the right choice for off-roading and towing.
Despite its rugged appeal, the Bronco Sport has excellent road manners and maintains its composure in just about any driving situation. The steering is lightweight and responsive, making it a fun drive. In rugged environments, the Bronco Sport boasts incredible capability with remarkable breakover, approach, and departure angles, skid plates, and a low-speed cruise control feature adapted for crawling. You’ll also get G.O.A.T Modes™, which comes with these five standard modes:
- Sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Eco
- Normal
Both Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl modes are available with the Badlands trim. Properly equipped, the Bronco Sport can tow up to 2,000 pounds in its standard configuration and 2,200 pounds in the Badlands and First Edition models.
Ford Bronco Sport Cabin and Comfort
The base model of the Bronco Sport has two rows of cloth seats with heavy bolstering and cushioning for passenger comfort. The cabin can seat five people with plenty of headroom and legroom. You can enhance the interior style and comfort with available features like leather seats, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, and ambient interior lighting.

If you have delicate cargo, you can stow it in the hidden underfloor storage space beneath the rear seats.
